Yep, six shooters firing 12 shots without a reload! Marshal Dillion always being faster on the draw even though he made molasses look quick! Fanning a Colt with 1 inch grouping at 50 yards! (that one always gave me a good giggle) Bullets sparking when they hit a car. Cars blowing up when you shoot them in the gas tank! No wonder the majority of Americans know so little about firearms. Hollywood has their heads so full of stupid it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Matt Dillion has been shot a few times in a draw. It should have been more, but then the series wouldn't have lasted 20 years.
I'm a sucker for Gunsmoke. I've watched every rerun about 5-6 times. It's on at supper time, so I always watch it while eating. |

rafsob,
I'll answer this post anyway. Yes, our forefathers harvested, and probably wounded, much game with the PRB. Likewise, the Native Americans with the arms available to them did the same thing. Google "Megafauna Extinctions". You know what? The Native Americans couldn't afford nostalgia, since they needed arms not only to hunt, but to defend themselves from the murderous savages who had invaded the continent. So, whenever they got the chance to upgrade, they did, going to smoothbore arms, then rifled arms, then to repeaters. I just seriously doubt that they sat around the campfire bemoaning the abandonment of the bow and arrow and the spear. At some point, I think we have to ask ourselves if our slavish devotion to some aspect of outdated technology is diminishing our sport, and ourselves. It's a conversation we need to have, realizing that people may disagree on the answer. Better to disagree than to avoid the question. OldBob |

It seems like he wants everybody to use a CF rifle with a scope. Otherwise, we'd be living in the past with any muzzleloader. I guess we don't need a muzzy, or bow season anymore. You seen my box of .338 magnums? |

I believe this is a fact. Me, i have no experience with prb, and have no opinion of prb. I don't believe i am knocking a bullet choice, but i do believe i am ignorant. What i wrote may not be relevant, or nice, but i couldn't find the fishing section. If you are trying to lighten up this subject, it didn't work sir!!! |

Apparently OldBob doesn't realize that some of our muzzleloaders will not shoot "modern" jacketed bullets accurately. And modern centerfire rifles delivering enormous amounts of energy are not necessary. It's all about bullet (or ball) placement.

He has every right to shoot what he wants and so do you. Not sure why you guys argue about your rights?? He has his opinions and so do you guys.

Yeah but Grouse, having and expressing an opinion is one thing. Calling all hunters that use a PRB unethical is another thing entirely. He needs to step away from the soapbox he has risen himself upon before he gets knocked off of it.
